how big is your exhaust marko?

its the veilside evolution system - its 95mm i think (i.e. either 3.75" or 4" from the dump pipes to the rear)

the dump pipes are large as well.

You'd want 4 inch minimum? or twin 3's haha hey Paul...

my brother has the apexi n1 systm on his trophy (last registered in 04) which runs 2 x 3" pipes, sounds very g-rough :)

What about in the mufflers (well the rear one). My Kakimoto had a 2.5 inch restrictor in it. What a POS! Silly jap systems!

curiosity got the better of me so i looked under the car with my vernier set...from the dump pipes it runs 2 x 2.5" front pipes (60mm) then the front pipes run into a 3.5" (90mm) collector which is about 400mm in length, the exhaust then runs straight thru @ 3.5" (90mm) via 2 middle mufflers which retain the same internal diameter. the rear muffler i looked thru with a torch & also measures 3.5" internal diameter.

this engine is running tomei poncams 260degrees @ 9.15mm.

this morning i took the car out & wanted to see exactly when i have full boost - are u guys ready for this??? 0.8bar @ 5,500rpm with gtrs's. its only on 0.8 bar until i get it retuned. huuuge difference from my rb26/30 which made full boost in half the revs.

i modified this gtr almost 10 yrs age hence i couldnt remember the exact spec of the exhaust, tell you what though, i am very happy to have it back home.

LOL! You know where they need to go? In the dumpster along with 2540's. But im sure there is a big pile of those in there already!

what is your rev limit set to?

if i look at my current power band, it is 3000rpm (i.e. 5500 - 8500)

when i think back to my rb26/30 i'd always shift at about 6500rpm which would still give me a 3000rpm powerband...although the rev limit was set to 9krpm, i always felt like i was killing it going past 7krpm as the engine was nowhere near as 'rev happy' as the 2.6ltr (i guess its changing mindset as well)

Just pulled out my latest graph. I hit 0.8 bar at 3400 RPM which is about 75 RPM after the dyno graph starts. RS's was 4600 RPM which was 1400 RPM after the run starts.

i remember doing this exercise with my 3ltr with -10's & i was getting 1 bar @ 3000rpm in 3rd gear on the street, i posted it somewhere on gtr.uk website

although, comparing a 3ltr with -10s to a 2.8ltr with -5s isn't really fair due to increased capacity

was set at 8600 but I never revved it past 8000. Even at Winton I was changing at 6500 - 7000. I didn't need the revs. With the RS's It needed every last RPM it could get so it wasn't so lethargic when pulling the next gear... not that it helped! From 4500 RPM I have 275 kw. Now if I changed at 8000 it will land somewhere between 5500 - 6000 RPM, thats 390-410KW after gear change, back up to 425 at 7100 and 418 at 8000.

So roughly 1800rpm later to 0.8 bar than a T04Z... and people compare them ha!

yes - what size rear housing on the t04z are u comparing it to as there are a few combinations?

my mate used to run a single hks gtrs on his r33 gtst & that had amazing bottom end power

0.84

It just goes to show that capacity can hide dog turbos flaws but they are still dogs...

HKS 2540 is a classic example, actually not too bad on a RB25 but on a RB20 probably the worst turbo ever!

Has that graph been replicated by anyone else or just a one-off? What capacity?

Always a bit sceptical when theres no corrections on a dyno dynamics graph for all we know that graph could be stock turbos with 200 degrees of intake compensation.. Before xmas my car made 492rwkw on e85 and 26psi on a pretty hot day with 28degrees AirTemp 49 degrees InletTemp compensation worked in the figure i thought nice not much to go till 500 now. After having a few problems we stopped tuning for the day, 2 days later went to another dyno, tune unchanged made 460rwkw i was like :mad:

Anyway dynos tell porkies we need more mph on the 1/4 in this thread.. :cheers:

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
